God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dansangel; Dutchess; Aquamarine; and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

[dansangel]

Thank you for our weekly dose (and this time there was a bonus!) of JH2, ((((((((((dutchess)))))))))

And, if things weren't complicated enough, "There are reports that Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the outage, although U.S. officials said Monday that those claims should be taken with 'a giant grain of salt,'"

In their dreams! Feh!

Thank you (((((((JH2))))))) for seeing to it that my Blood Pressure is up and running this morning! Between the dims and ....well, the Dims....that's enough fuel for the fire.

:-)

BREAKING NEWS......BREAKING NEWS......BREAKING NEWS......BREAKING NEWS......

This Breaking News DID NOT- repeat DID NOT come from the "FARGO FOR GOVERNOR" Campaign!


There is one candidate running for Governor of the fine state of California, that sources very close to the would-be Governor have confided to this unbiased reporter: rob banks, dresses like the opposite sex, and has at least one advisor that admits in print:
"I have some ducklings to shoot."

We Michiganders need a California Governor we can be proud of!

This Breaking News DID NOT- repeat DID NOT come from the "FARGO FOR GOVERNOR" Campaign!

We return you now to your regularly scheduled FReeping.......

Mornin', everybody ! Happy Thursday !!

[FreeTheHostages]

HERE'S THE CALENDAR!!

[Diver Dave]

The giddy mood at Democrat headquarters last Thursday turned decidedly dreary again Friday, with news the massive Energy Crisis had been sabotaged as juice began flowing massively again across all affected states, giving the massive Energy Crisis a near death experience.

Senator Ted Kennedy was observed doing his part to get the juice flowing...

[Calpernia]

Goodmorning Finest!

[Calpernia]

Goodmorning Tooters! That was cute!

Did anyone see my ducklings yesterday?

[Calpernia]

I finally know what the date is! How is your thread coming?

'Dear John' Letter # 1001:

Ah, John - - one week later, the echoes of gloomy voices ring across the land - -
Ding Dong! The Glitch is dead. Which old Glitch? The Precious Glitch!
Ding Dong! The Precious Gitch is dead.

Sad, huh?

Photos of nine black-robed figures hunched over a black cauldron, aimlessly stirring the pot, appeared in the National Crying Towel rags.
It could be heard muttered things like "A cool front is moving in to stifle the bloomin' heat?"
- "Fears abound of a balmy Autumn and Winter!"

Yeah, yeah - The G D Party Plans a Candlelight Vigil !! scream the headlines.
(Gloom & Doom Party, that is . . .)

Their Wall Street investors who had hurridly, anticipating the VEC (Vast Energy Crisis), created a chain of Lanterns R Us stores, gasped in waves around the nation, and trimmed their wicks - stocks now worthless unless Mother Nature brings a hurricane or ten.

Speaking of depressing sales report, they see that America is obsessed over nesting and getting kids back to school, having too much tax-money-returned-per-child than is decent. Why even their children/grandchildren needed things like shoes and jeans and books and pens and pencils and - - well, you get the tragic picture.
Hits 'em right in the old backpack, it does . . .

'Nuff to make you cry for 'em, isn't it, Dear John?
Just listen as the voices fade - - "Recession" - "Lesson" - as they sit there in the dark light watching replays of old tv series and mutter along, "To the Moon, Alice!" .....

- - Get Over It, Ralph - - -

Gotta run.

[HiJinx]

Well, run carefully, ok? Don't want you running over some of the G & D nitwits out there. Why, you might actually hurt one of them if you're not careful!

Take care, and we'll see you around!
